Search: FlightAware backbone, blob catalog, diagnostic infra

Browse Source

route-explorer's /api/token sits behind invisible Cloudflare Turnstile
that requires Apple's Private Access Token attestation. Third-party
iOS apps don't qualify for PAT issuance, and Linux Docker containers
can't pass it either (cross-OS fingerprint, even with patchright /
Camoufox). Migrates direct-flight search to FlightAware; multi-stop
and where-can-I-go remain via embedded SFSafariViewController.

- FlightAwareScheduleClient — scrapes route.rvt + trackpoll JSON for
  real schedules without auth. T+0..2 day window. Tests against
  captured HTML fixtures.
- BlobRouteClient — pulls the public Vercel blob route catalog
  route-explorer's frontend reads (no auth, no Turnstile).
- DiagnosticLogger + LoggingURLSessionDelegate + DiagnosticsView —
  device-shareable forensic trace. Boot header captures device, OS,
  locale, UA; share-sheet export of session logs.
- TurnstileDebugView — live WKWebView gate inspector. Used to prove
  the PAT-entitlement gap on a real device.
- RouteExplorerBrowserView — SFSafariViewController wrapper. Real
  Safari clears Turnstile naturally; the in-app browser opens at
  pre-filled search URLs. Surfaced from Search ("Open in
  route-explorer") and Settings → Tools.
- RouteExplorerTokenStore + RouteExplorerSetupView — bookmarklet
  capture flow (token round-tripped via flights://routeexplorer-token
  URL scheme). Kept dormant for future use.

backend/ — Docker proxy attempts (Playwright, patchright, Camoufox).
All fail on Linux because Cloudflare auto-denies before the Turnstile
widget renders. Documented; kept as scaffolding for a future paid-
solver integration.

scripts/probe_flightaware.py — reference algorithm for the FA path.
scripts/probe_nodriver.py — local-Mac sanity check confirming the
gate clears with real macOS Chrome (proves the blocker is
fingerprint-level, not network-level).
